Barcelona advances to Champions League semis despite Guirassy's hat-trick

FC Barcelona advanced to the Champions League semi-finals despite a 3-1 defeat to Borussia Dortmund, securing a 5-3 aggregate victory. The match was highlighted by Serhou Guirassy's hat-trick, with his first goal coming from a penalty and his second a header that raised hopes of a comeback. However, an own goal by Dortmund's Ramy Bensebaini and Guirassy's final goal were not enough to overturn Barcelona's 4-0 lead from the first leg. Guirassy's performance made him the top scorer of the tournament with 13 goals, setting a record for the most goals by an African player in a single Champions League campaign. Barcelona will now face either Inter Milan or Bayern Munich in the semi-finals. Despite the loss, Dortmund's effort showcased their resilience and Guirassy's impressive form.
